Accountants for GP Practices Manchester | NHS Pension, Superannuation & Partnership Tax

GP Practice Accountants

Specialist Accountancy for GP Practices

General Practice operates within one of the most complex financial environments in the UK. Between NHS contract management, partnership profit allocations, superannuation obligations and the ever-changing funding landscape, the financial administration of a GP practice demands a specialist.

At CFA Accountants, we provide dedicated accountancy, tax and financial planning support for GP practices across Manchester, Salford and Greater Manchester. We understand the NHS financial framework and the specific obligations that come with running a partnership under an NHS contract.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a superannuation certificate and why does it matter? +

A superannuation certificate confirms a GP's pensionable profits for NHS pension purposes each year. Errors in these certificates directly affect a partner's retirement income. We prepare and review these for all GP partners to ensure accuracy.

Do GP practices need to register for VAT? +

Most GP services are exempt from VAT. However, some services such as medico-legal work, DVLA medicals and fitness certificates may be subject to VAT. We review income regularly to advise on any VAT liability.

Can you help with a GP practice merger? +

Yes. We advise on the financial, tax and structural aspects of GP practice mergers, including due diligence, profit projections, partnership agreement changes and property considerations.

How do you handle NI overpayments for GP partners? +

GP partners with both practice income and salaried hospital income often overpay National Insurance. We review contributions, identify overpayments and reclaim them from HMRC on your behalf.
